The Foston Journal pleads with a

with calmness and candor these con-
undrums: "Of what politics are all
but one OF two of the New York
doodle aldermen? OF what political
stripe is the city government of Brook
lyn, which the Eagle 30 furiously de-
nounces? Of which State Committee
is the District Attorney, under whose
administration booksellers and other
offenders have gone free, member

and most of the Chicago boodlers
adorn? The election conspirators in
Baltimore, in Indianapolis, in Colum-

they not all Democrats? ?"-Los Angeles

THERE is cloud of war upon the
European horizon which, though no
larger than mans hand, may short
ly cover the entire heavens. Poor
erlinand is not likely to find his
Bulgarian throne bed of roses. He
is liable to find himself in the predic-
ament of the Irishman in the farce
who was discharged before he was
hired. There have been so many ru-
mors of wars of late years that it is
high time the ruction should begin in
earnest, and it would be rather pleas
ant to see Russia lead off by smash
ing the treaty of Berlin.

THE New York Times has latelely
given some attention to Mr.. Mason's
assessment of Los Angeles county.
Our New York contemporary thinks
that there is something peculiar in an
advance of one hundred and forty
seven per cent. in the Assessors fig
ures. The HERALD has already put
itself on record to the same effect. 1t
is probably the most eccentric thing
that was ever done by an official. But
the Times is wrong in its deductions.
There is no bubble here. The only
strange thing about it all is that Los
Angeles county should have been
cursed with such an Assessor. The
taxpayers are perfectly willing to have
their property assessed at the old
modest figures.

A GREAT deal of very natural sur
prise has been expressed amongst
Democrats at the remarkable falling
off in the Democratic majority in the
Kentucky election. And thereby
hangs tale. 1t appears that there is
strong prohibition sentiment in
Kentucky, and that Gov. Buckner
had identified himself with the per-
sonal liberty element. At the August
election of a year ago twenty-four
counties voted on Prohibition, and the
question was carried in twenty-five
out OF the twenty-four counties.
Gov. Buckner's own county, Hart,
decided for prohibition. He cons E.
quently lost great many temperance
votes which otherwise would have
been recorded for him. Thus, while
Governor Buckner cannot boast the
large majority which some of his
Democratic predecessors have re-
ceived, he can certainly rear his head
high amongst his fellows, towering as
a very Saul, and knowing that he
represents the Democratic idea in
essence, which believes in al
lowing a man to regulate his
own habits. 1t is favorite notion
amongst great many people that
Prohibition is destined to sweep this
country. This is a great mistake.
That movement has already reached
and passed its food-tide. The Texas
election marked the point of retroces-
sion of the waves. Hereafter, in the
United States, intelligent effort will
be directed towards national schemes
of licensing and policing the liquor
traffic.

IT will be a happy day for the
world, and for the farmer particular
ly, when silver shall regain its old re-
lation to gold. Cheap silver means
cheap wheat. All the transactions
with India are managed in that metal,
and when the merchant of Leadenhall
street and of Liverpool can buy his
sill yer at big discount his dealings
with the ryots of India at once ex-
pand. Even in England, however,
there is at last a movement to restore
bi-metalism, with the President of the
Bank of England at its head.

AMERICAN TOOLS ABROAD.

London Iron.l

London Iron.
"Our American contemporaries have
every cause to be surprised at the as
tonishing fact that thousands of tons
of scrap iron are every year taken to
the United States and there converted
into the simplest of American
manufactures, the sad or laun-
dry iron, and then exported
back to Europe at no small
profit. There is no corner in Europe
where American small cast hardware
is not on sale. The tool makers and
machinists of Europe-such as Krupp,
of Germany: Whitworth and Arm
strong, of England, and Hotchkiss, of
France, with their vast resources-are
unable to produce Moncky or screw
bar wrench equal to the American
wrenches, and consequently they have
to import these tools from the
States. 1t is stated that there
are no less than $4,000 dozen Of
them exported to Europe alone every
year. 1t is interesting to note that
Charles Moncky, the inventor of this
screw-bar wrench, received only $4,000
for his patent, and is now living at
Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in a small
cottage bought from the proceeds Of
this sale. In the matter Of the com.
mon pocket lockwood rules, also,
